Nitrous loves a split cam IMO. Im runnign about the biggest split you can get off the shelf. 208/220. gt2-3 lingenfelter cam. When I sprayed my truck I was seeing 1.5 sec gains on a 125 shot and the tune could have been a hair better. Only wieght reduction was tailgate, this was done on motor passes also. IMO get about 4* difference on the exhaust then the intake. Say maybe a 222/226 or 220/226 and the nitrous will love that cam, it will lope and will still make good torque and hp on motor. Much more info should be considered tho. Just a quick tip I guess.

Check out my last dyno. It definately seems to be pointless going that high on mine at the moment. At least on motor.

I ran a LPE GT1 on my 5.3L with a 225hp shot. I only tried spraying a couple times with the cam and 4k stall and it wasnt pretty. The feeling of going sideways at 70mph was a little scarry. I think that cam worked well with N2O, but dont expect anything less than a prostreet sounding idle. lol
